Your room was square I once noticed from there In your bed, as you slept, And I held my breath Everything had its own place And I wondered what space would I take In the order you kept
I tried to eat like your girlfriend Just tea in the night, I’d end up Too hungry to sleep So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside, I would find It’s for you won’t be mine
I tried my hardest, for I’d never learned God’s very simple and love shouldn’t burn And I would’ve offered you all that you yearned for But I was still waiting for something to earn
What is that quiet of snow in the night? The dark rings with white noise As you stand and drown Maybe it’s all of these snowflakes, screaming A choir of mute As they brace for the ground
Well that’s my ride Hope you had a good night You know, you made me happy Here shake my hand You make such a good man Never once did you know me
I tried my hardest, for I’d never learned God’s very simple and love doesn’t burn And maybe you offered me all that I yearned for But I was still waiting for something to earn
